The sunset on Currituck Sound

The sunset on Currituck Sound

My daughter is in the Army Reserve full-time at Ft. Bragg. Five years ago she had a double mastectomy due to cancer. The Wounded Warriors program gave her a week of vacation, Sept. 11, 2011, at Currituck on the Outer Banks.

Every evening about the same time, we would walk along the sound. I noticed this egret, alone, evening after evening. The last two nights of our stay, I decided to take my camera with me. Sure enough, on Thursday night he was there, and Friday night he was there along with this beautiful sunset.
